Youngsters at the Claremont Avenue nursery were taught how to keep safe when out and about, with games featuring traffic lights, a walk to the park where the children were taught how to cross the road and staff dressing up as police officers, firefighters and lollypop staff. Manager of the nursery Zoe Godson said: “The children had a fantastic time. It was a lovely and fun event, despite the weather. “It’s very important to teach the children road safety from a young age because of the environment we live in and to encourage children to take walks with their parents. “And it’s important to instill the understanding from a young age so they have that awareness.” The day was held in conjunction with Break, a road safety group that promotes traffic awareness and road safety days at schools across the country. The nursery opened in 1986 and cares for 44 children every day and will hold another Beep Beep day next year to make sure the children remain streetwise.
